Jack jumps over a candlestick with a velocity of 5 m/s at an angle of 30 to the horizantal. Did Jack burn his feet on the .25 m high candle?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Physics Projectile Motion is the study of the motion of objects that are thrown or launched into the air and travel in a curved path due to the force of gravity.
The trajectory of a projectile is affected by the initial velocity, the angle at which it is launched, and the force of gravity. Air resistance and other external forces may also play a role.
The range, or horizontal distance traveled, of a projectile can be calculated using the formula: R = (v2sin2θ)/g, where v is the initial velocity, θ is the launch angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Yes, a projectile can have a negative range if it is launched at an angle greater than 90 degrees, causing it to travel backwards. However, this is not possible in most real-life scenarios.
Air resistance, or drag, can decrease the range and height of a projectile, as well as alter its trajectory. This is more noticeable for objects with a larger surface area and lower mass.
